Another Controversy Bubbles Away

Many in the Woodend community are unhappy with the way their Community Centre is being run by the Council.

This week, the Woodend Action Group, represented by Kirstyn Barnett and Colleen Fuller, presented a petition that complained, amongst other things, of bonds that are beyond affordability for bona fide community groups and of unreasonable restrictions on usage.

The Council could only receive the petition, not discuss it, because it the matter was not on the publicly-notified agenda. The Community and Recreation Committee will consider the matter early in the new year.
